NATIONAL RANKING

That Mesa has had a dominant athletic program for many years is no surprise. However, the National Alliance of Two-Year College Athletic Administrators (NATYCAA) has created an award to honor the top programs in the nation each year which graphically demonstrates how strong the MCC program has been.

Each year NATYCAA uses a system that computes each school’s finish in NJCAA national championship competition for each of the over 400 scholarship programs to create a national ranking. In the 12 years for which data is available, Mesa finished in the top 5 five times and has never finished lower than 21st.
